it has to be me not putting my trust in Rhi. As you know I have had many issues with cantering. I did manage the other day to get to canter Rhi and once again tonight. However I then went back over and know that it is me and not Rhi. Once again thanks to Darin and Sonia I am learning where my mistakes are. Only thing is with Rhi I cant put it right
Also thanks to Sonia and Darin I once again rode Paradise. Who gave me a superb time. First time round she was wanting to go but held her back and we walked until she came to the last corner of the school. Then it was trot. Went round again and last corner was canter. We did it again and found that once again I was not giving her a rein (although as always she had more than Rhi poor girl) I ws holding them too far up off the withers. Eventually Darin showed me where to hold the riens. Tried that and we just went round in small cirlces in canter. Sonia then gave me a few tips as I had half scared the living daylights out of myself and probably confused poor Pas. Set off again to try something different and before I set off into canter I had to take a few deep breaths. This time I managed to get my hands down. Oh and after one of our strange canters we nearly jumped a log but Pas decided to spook at it instead and I stayed on
Why oh why cant I trust Rhi to the same extent. When I got back on her to try again it was just once complete mess Oh yes I know cause she is a rascal and she mearly had me jumping the log in the paddock.Mmmmmmmmm strange to say that if Rhi had jumped it I would not have been to bothered but when Pas headed for it now that was a different matter
